The Utah Durable (Financial) Power of Attorney materializes an express commitment to allocating designated rights from one person to another. The durable portion of the power of attorney form applies the understanding that the gained controls will remain in effect should the issuing principal enter an unconscious or comatose state. The statutory form conveys broad sweeping authority for an appointed agent to act and communicate on behalf of the issuing party regarding chosen financial matters. Powers granted to the attorney-in-fact can cover several actions involving bank holdings, real estate, personal property, taxes, and legal proceedings. Making modifications to the paperwork will allow the declarant to fine-tune the contract to suit their needs. Providing permissions at this level can be an important decision, and seeking advice from a lawyer is recommended before signing.
